Summary "Leaves from a Middy's Log" by Arthur Lee Knight is a fictional adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the young midshipman Jack Darcy as he embarks on various high-seas exploits while serving aboard the frigate H.M.S. "Rattler". Set against a backdrop of naval life and Caribbean intrigue, the book captures the excitement and camaraderie of young sailors facing danger and the unknown. The opening of the book introduces us to Jack Darcy and his fellow midshipmen who are stationed in Havana. As they explore the city, they learn of a mutiny aboard an English merchant vessel, leading to a thrilling call to action where Darcy and his mates are ordered to pursue the mutineers. After a series of misadventures, including mistakenly boarding the wrong ship, the midshipmen find themselves in a chaotic struggle filled with danger, cunning, and a touch of humor. This initial chapter sets the tone for a story brimming with youthful bravado and daring exploits on the high seas. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
